Chapter 86
No one could tell what Qi Heng was thinking from his calm face. Even though he had been speechless several times due to unexpected surprises from the beginning till now, it did not prevent him from appearing to be calm and composed.
"I am your father?"
Qi Heng looked down at the insect cub lying in his arms. His voice was so low that it sounded more like he was talking to himself than asking a question.
"Dad, give me a hug." The little bug repeated in his mouth, and his curly eyelashes were like two small fans, fluttering in the air, which made people's hearts melt.
Qi Heng: "..." It was obvious that the kid didn't understand what he was saying at all. He kept repeating the same two words over and over again, more like a parrot imitating what he was saying.
As for who he learned it from... His eyes fell on the fat bug that was clinging to his arm. There was no one else except this guy who kept yelling for a hug as soon as he saw him and whose real age was in the five digits.
Wait, since he learned it from Fatty Bug, is it possible that he and the brat have no relationship at all, and the brat just followed his example and called him "Hero Father"?
——This possibility is very high.
Besides, no matter how you look at it, there is no similarity between him and this little guy. Black hair and black eyes don’t mean anything. Among the Zerg, the Overlord is not the only one with black hair and black eyes.
Qi Heng lifted the insect cub up and looked at it face to face, without saying anything for a long time.
Babies all look the same, and he couldn't tell if this little thing resembled him, or rather, the Lord. Although there wasn't much difference, the Lord's face wasn't that different from his own.
[Master, are you okay? Um, I mean, you don't look well.]
[It’s not very good.]
[A0, do you think I look like him?] Qi Heng put the bug cub down and raised his hand to pinch its cheek.
Is it or isn't it? This is a very serious question. If he can't figure out the truth, he probably won't be able to sleep well.
The game he was playing was another real universe, and he had traveled into the game. These already sounded ridiculous. There was no reason why the "overlord" had disappeared for more than 10,000 years and could appear again to take over the lives of the insects that had been caused.
But... the time of this insect egg can really be traced back to the time when the Overlord disappeared. This is a bit of an awkward coincidence.
Actually, the quickest way to find out if this bug cub is related to the Overlord is to ask the person involved. However, the Overlord was "dead" so long ago that he had no idea what was going on. And the other person involved... after all these years, there's a good chance that even his ashes are nowhere to be found.
If you have any doubts, you might as well get a DNA test. A0 gave some reliable advice.
[Can you do it?] That’s a good idea indeed.
[Sorry, Your Excellency, the system currently does not have medical functions.]
Qi Heng's men nonchalantly poked the insect cub's face. It had to be said that the cub's skin was really tender and bouncy, which was very interesting.
He wasn't disappointed and said directly: "Scan and simulate what he'll look like when he grows up. This can be done, right?"
【Can. 】
The insect cub whose face was poked thought Qi Heng was playing with him, and he slurped his saliva and smiled a silly and innocent smile.
The A0 map came out quickly.
...Is there something wrong with this picture? Qi Heng looked at the picture given by A0 with an expression that seemed to want to say something but was hesitant.
This person looks quite different from me. The only similarity is the eye contour. Other parts such as facial features are more like Chu Xiu.
At first glance, it looked more like Chu Xiu's than the Lord's cub.
Seeing two faces similar to Chu Xiu in one day was such a coincidence. Qi Heng looked at the boy sitting next to him, and then looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old picture provided by A0. Aren't these two too similar?
Are they brothers? He thought calmly.
Another picture in A0 shows a simulated insect cub of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. It can almost be said to be a black-haired and black-eyed version of Chu Xiu.
Qi Heng's gaze shifted between the insect cub and the silver-haired female insect not far away. They seemed to be much closer than he was... Did Chu Xiu later have cubs with other male insects? That's how his descendants would be passed down through the ages...
Enough, stop thinking.
——The more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes.
Let's tentatively assume that this insect egg is related to Chu Xiu and the Lord. As for this young female insect... well, her identity is still uncertain. I haven't had time to ask since she woke up.
But it cannot be said that his identity is unknown. That face and mental imprint are the best proof of his identity.
Qi Heng pushed away the fat bug that was clinging to him and immediately put the baby bug into the fat bug's hands, saying, "Please help take care of it."
The fat bug was fine; it was always eager to complete the tasks assigned by Qi Heng, so it obediently used its forelimbs to support the young bug. But the young bug wasn't so understanding. Almost as soon as Qi Heng let go, it began to sob and waved its arms toward Qi Heng, trying to struggle towards him.
Qi Heng coldly and ruthlessly rejected the little cub's idea of getting closer. He stood up and looked at the female insect who was still sitting on the ground with her knees hugged.
As a result, the silver-haired female insect looked up at him without blinking, looking very similar to the small one next to it.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Get up."
Qi Heng carefully examined the silver-haired female insect before him. Her features were youthful and immature, with a pair of narrow, upturned eyes beneath long, slightly curled eyelashes. If she wasn't smiling, she would exude a certain coolness and an air of domineering arrogance.
...It was a completely different appearance from his own. Both the master and himself had a face that looked gentle, affectionate and approachable.
Qi Heng watched the female insect on the ground stand up, and then, to his surprise, the first thing she did was to lean forward towards him.
However, it seemed that because she was stopped by herself just now, even though the silver-haired female insect moved forward a little, she still looked a little uneasy because she unconsciously pursed her lips.
Qi Heng was silent for a moment when he saw that the other party had closed the gap between them, which was originally only three steps away, and had closed it by one step.
Fortunately, after the unexpected baptism of the little bug recognizing its father just now, he felt that nothing could be more outrageous than that, so he asked the questions he wanted to ask.
"May I have your name."
"My name is Chu Xiu. You, you—don't you remember me?"
Oh, his name is Chu Xiu.
Wait, Chu what? What Xiu? What Chu Xiu?!
Qi Heng's calm expression broke. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the silver-haired female insect in front of him from top to bottom and from left to right, and finally stopped at his face.
Just because I have a face similar to Chu Xiu's, I can't say my name is Chu Xiu... Come to think of it, maybe the Zerg have the habit of inheriting the names of their elders, Qi Heng thought uncertainly.
"Did I scare you just now?"
Chu Xiu, okay, let’s call you that for now.
"I'm just too excited. You disappeared for so many years, and I really didn't expect to see you again..."
Even Qi Heng, who had traveled through time and space and experienced all kinds of outrageous events and common sense critiques, couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart.
--grass!
There is always a mountain higher than the one you climb, and he lost.
Although Chu Xiu tried very hard to appear calm, Qi Heng could still sense the high emotions that were difficult to suppress in Chu Xiu's words.
Now, he was completely speechless and didn't know what to say.
